A model is developed for superconducting and charge-density-wave (CDW) correlations in the bismuth oxide superconductors BaPb[sub 1[minus][ital x]]Bi[sub [ital x]]O[sub 3] and Ba[sub 1[minus][ital x]]K[sub [ital x]]BiO[sub 3], starting from the Hubbard model and assuming a three-dimensional tight-binding band structure. Self-consistent equations for the superconducting gap ([Delta]), and the CDW gap ([ital g]), and the band filling ([ital N][sub [ital e]]) are derived and solved numerically. Solutions for both [Delta] and [ital g] are obtained for 0.29[le][ital N][sub [ital e]][le]0.38 and 0.80[le][ital N][sub [ital e]][le]1.00 (where [ital N][sub [ital e]]=1.00 represents half-filling). These solutions are compared against the experimental data for BaPb[sub 1[minus][ital x]]Bi[sub [ital x]]O[sub 3] and Ba[sub 1[minus][ital x]]K[sub [ital x]]BiO[sub 3] and qualitative agreement is obtained.
